Looks like Massimo Tamburini is looking to retire and pursue interests outside motorcycling. Good luck to him. [thumbsup]
Almost seems like he didn't want to work for Willy G... :-\
Good luck to him.
Perhaps he's been watching HD's stock prices, and decided to get off the ship.
He's got a lot of years in, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was just unwilling to deal with any management changes. It'll be interesting to see what he does next. He's designed some fantastic 2-wheeled machinery.
There was a falling out between Tamburini and Claudio Castiglioni when HD bought MV. In the interview I read, Tamburini stated that Castiglioni blamed many of MV Agustas financial problems on him. Maybe Tamburini and Castiglioni never made up.

As a former MV owner, I was really suprised by their public bashing of each other. Many MV owners are not Castiglioni fans. I feel that it was fitting that he named the F2CC after himself [laugh]

I thought it was arrogant to name the F2CC after himself. He could do whatever he wanted since he ran the company, but it wasn't something that I thought was normal.
